Why Climb with ClimbBigMountains

It’s the “human touch”

At this point, it’s tempting to start boasting about how gnarly everyone is at our company and how many 8000 meter peaks our guides have climbed.

But I’ll spare you of that and instead put a client’s opinion here:

I had an awesome experience with CBM. It’s one thing that they’re expterts on the mountain – I was expecting that. But their kindness, openness and “propensity to party” at the huts is what I loved most about them. Other guides in huts look dull and engage in forced conversations with their clients, while the CBM guys are a really fun bunch. – Carolina Nemes, January 4th, 2008

This is the kind of feedback we usually get, but Carolina put it so nicely after a fun week in the Caucasus with us.

You’re really in a great position – because any UIAGM/IFGMA certified guide will give you the safest experience possible… and you have loads of providers to choose from.

At ClimbBigMountains, we know that having fun with your climbing mates is at least as important as what you climb and the scenery, so we avoid hiring over-worked, bored, grumpy guides and support people. At CBM, you’re only going to climb with guides who are awesome in every sense of the word.

Your Guides

CBM's mountain guides have to meet serious professional and personal requirements before they can join our team. Their professional skills are measured according to an objective system of criteria. For climbing trips in the Alps, our guides must hold a valid IFMGA/UIAGM certification. Of course, we don't want you to be in uncool company, so we only work with guides we're happy to be around ourselves. Your CBM guide will know when to be empathic and when to give you a needed kick in the butt to make the most out of your trip. :)
